Cause of the botnet ( in response to " pajeet " exploit )
-
mind blown.

Found this:
BURSTCOIN FARM - EARN FREE BURSTCOINI don´t know if this has something to do with the botnet, but who knows ...
-
@Daforce I don't think so... This is one of Fopa's scammy faucets on the PlayStore. They just keep releasing them for new coins. Kinda cool that Burst is recognized enough to get their attention though.
I say scammy because, well... you know how high withdraw limit faucets can be
-
@Daforce This 100-500 Downloads so far, so hardly could cause a 15K Client Network, no?
-
@Marc Unless all the other apps do the same thing. Their ETH app has 10,000 to 50,000 installs. And to boot all of the apps were updated on 6-27-2017... which is right around the time he went solo
Any .APK pros to bust these apart and check out the code?
Most of the reviews claim scam.... and I can't view more than one review on the burst app
Could be onto something here.

I don´t know. Please enlighten me.

The apk is freely avaiable. No need to go to the playstore.

@Daforce With high withdraw limit faucets, a couple things typically happen:
1.) The creator bets that people will use the app for a short time but not be able to reach the withdraw limit, therefore, ad revenue was earned, yet they had to pay nothing out to users.
2.) The creators will bail on the app at some time in the future (before anyone reaches withdraw), and again, earn ad revenue without paying anything out to their users
These are just two examples but I've seen these scenarios play out over and over.

@Daforce Doesnt fit together with size of plot each abused Client aka so far as what said/is know 200-300 GB each Client. Mobiles dont hold 300GB of free space normally. Also you Need to root in some cases, dont know about the actual Androids maybe its just a click to allow Installation from unknown sources just like on the firesticks, but People rooting normally know what they are doing and are more Aware due to that.
-
@Marc I'd say still probable. 300gb per client is an educated guess. There could be so much more to it than we know. They also run websites and there android downloads could be 100,000 or more. The 15,000ip's could be sloppy work and the only ones we have recovered.
To my knowledge google play won't host apps that require root. This guy is obviously good with code so who knows.
This is a great big world with many avenues....

@crutsy possible but unlikely, thats all I said.
